Same things applies to the Maintenance Boxville that you might come across during CEO crates. It has "sirens" that are activated when you sound the horn, but they're silent.

 

I guess the NPC drivers see it and thing "EEW a Boxville! I better yield!"

Years after release and only now I realized that you can scroll through that freeroam chat with Page Up / Page Down... So many times I missed something impotent cause 20 people were talking at the same time and I didn't knew you can just scroll up...

Also I never noticed that you can easily move your car from one level of your garage to the next one with a click of a button...

 And a little discussion with a staff member:

Passive-aggressive? Condescending?

Complaints, warnings about bugs and negative comments can go in Bitch & Moan thread. That way we can localise all complaints and personal warnings about the game. There is a reason for this. It keeps arguments and toxicity levels to one place. So negative things about GTA Online are mostly isolated to one place and not spread around every thread which ignites plenty of petty arguments and off-topic posts. 

I didn't remove his post, I left it there as a friendly warning that posts like it can go in to that other topic. It's a reminder that anyone that things they're going to complain about GTAO, there's another thread for it. It's a logical stance. And my decision. It's not your decision to make - not that I have to explain myself to you.

And its my decision to criticize you when I see you guys abusing your power where its not needed.

Sure, you want to keep this things clean, obviously. But you could easily do that without sounding like a little ahole who has nothing better to do, it shouldn't be hard at all for a normal person. If someone was just REEEEEing about pointless stuff? Suuure, go ahead and sound like an ahole, they probably deserve it! I'm all in baby! But the dude was simply trying to warn people and you know it  And what was your response to the person who tried to help this community? Theres a bitch and moan thread for people like you isn't very "respectful" as you called it lol.

By your own logic another person can write something like "I didn't know that in GTAO there are griefers and squeekers and that it's crap."  The statement isn't wrong technically, just not for this topic. 

We're working tirelessly to keep order to these forums voluntarily out passion for the community. I was respectful to you, and you've just shown blatant disrespect back. 

If either of you have any issues with that, PM me to further discuss. 

Otherwise, lets stick to the topic here.

Nah, thats not my logic. You now just putting words in to my mouth. Read my post again and you will understand that there was a reason for him to post that here, he surly wasn't bitching or moaning about griefers or squeekers, He was just trying to warn people before the issue was wildly known. There was no sticky thread about it, no red text on top. Only one small topic and probably 99% of this forum haven't even seen it.

"By your logic" - do you remove every even slightly negative post from a topic about progress removing glitches or accidental money wipes cause they all belong in a "B&M thread"?  I don't think so...
What did you expect? Should he warn people about this progress removing glitch while simultaneously sucking on R* dick and telling how wonderful they rly are? Be real here... 

I guess you have a very twisted definition of "being respectful". Its probably because of all that passion you have for this community ;] Its understandable. And nah, I don't need to PM you, Who has time for that? thats literally it. Just in the future try to be a little nicer to people who only tried to help instead of implying that they are just bitching and moaning... But no hard feelings my dude. I just think you been too rough on that guy who was just trying to help. Next time you could say the same thing without sounding like a douche. Other than that keep up the good work I guess.  

If you have something else to add you can PM me cause you know... offtopic and all that.

I didnt know you could attack a GTAF staff member for doing their job

Ohhh sure you can! as long as they suck at doing it or when they are doing it for the wrong reasons. Those "positions of power" can attract... a certain type of people and we all know it (not all of them ofc, just a small % thats always there). So its good to criticize them from time to time. If you can't, they can't improve and we gonna end up with some crazy assholes in charge. There are stuff members on this forum that are surly... not mature enough for that role since they have some weird power trip fantasies on daily basis (not talking about Mr. Pink here, I don't know him at all, he was simply a little bit too rough to a guy that tried to help people, thats it).

Maybe it uses the same code they had in previous games before they "nerfed it" for gta v? Cause I swear, the sirens actually worked in previous games but those in gta v are mostly useless.

Its like they are less panicked about it or whatever the canon explanation is, cop siren they will just plow into oncoming traffic to clear the road, for this siren they seem to actively avoid crashing into other traffic

- How the western deathbike is actually fast as hell but also terrible at landing any sort of jumps, is the only bike that seems to want to lay on the ground completely upside down & the light created by NOS is lagging behind where it should be (try it parked and driving)

The Gargoyle glitch applies to the Apocalypse/Nightmare Deathbike as well, but not the Future Shock one. You can really reach crazy speeds combined with the nitros.

Supposedly a Manchez upgrade got cut from Arena War. That would be hands down my favorite vehicle in the game.

I haven't logged in to GTAO in a long time. I did just check out the casino. I'm sure if I go on there'll be a billion new things.

That's fair enough dude but please think about choosing your battles more wisely.  I'm not the enemy you think I am. Abusing power? The post was reported and I responded to it using my own judgement. There wasn't any action take other than the fact that it leans on the side of being a complaint. That's why it wasn't removed or merged with the other topic. It was left there. The fact you think I sounded like an asshole is subjective. To the point, yes. Concise, yes. Asshole? Well, that's not my view of it.

 

Your also being intellectually dishonest. I said: 

 

"This type of post can go in the Bitch & Moan thread in future. 

 

Thanks"

 

I didn't name it the "Bitch & Moan" thread, nor have i never said "people like you." So stop with the dishonest strawman. Stop making up undertones that aren't there. 

 

So far you've accused me of being;

• Condescending
• Passive-aggressive
• Power-hungry 
• And have abused my power
• Being disrespectful
• Sounding like an asshole

Amazing how you drew all this from that one post yet you say you don't know.  You don't know me. It's consistent with being voted "coolest member" last year   :

Nah, thats not my logic...

 It's very analogous to what you are arguing. My example and the reported post both lean on being a complaint. They both belong in the B&M topic. I never said you said that thing. It's in the same vein. And if the call is 50/50, that's my own or any other staff's prerogative. 

 

If you want to argue that his post isn't leaning on a complaint, a complaint about Rockstar/GTAO then you give me your argument. So far, you've spent a huge chunk attacking me personally and bringing up other things.

 

If the message was short and to the to point it's because I have my life and study too. This is volunteer work that I'm happy to do. "Thanks" meant "thanks." It wasn't meant as anything other than that. That was me being respectful. 

 

And I would PM you but now I feel I need to clarify in public my character and it's not that of a "power-hungry" staff member. If moderating petty arguments, removing spam and trying to steer things on topic is "power" then I that's not my goal. I've been a contributing member since 2004. I would say 90% of that time was being a member just like you. Wanting to talk about my favourite game. And I'm still that member. Look through my post history. 

 

Now, respond if you feel the need to, I won't. This should be in a PM. But as my character was attacked publically, I think I wanted to defend myself publically.  

 

There's no hard feelings at all. A Rick and Morty fan is always good in my books. And your character looks like Raoule Duke/HST.

 

 

 You now just putting words in to my mouth.

I checked your little warning to that member. Guess you’re an asshole because you’re too kind. You might not have been called an asshole if you just banned them all. Seems you got hate in here for doing what you also try to do in other places of the forums. Honestly, don’t give people answers if they don’t deserve it if you ask me, i and many others know you try to do your job and you do it good. Peace.

Apparently the Agatha Baker mission wherein you need to escort a van to the casino can get you police. Never happenend to me before.

I would humbly like to apologize for my emotional outburst, and I would like to thank you for not banning me from the forums personally.  I fully expected I was done for life here.  Imagine my surprise that I'm not.

 

You were right and I was wrong.  And sorry for making one more public post about this, but I felt i should give you credit in the public forum, and make a public mea culpa.  I do understand you are just trying to do your job, and that people like myself only make your job more difficult.  So again, I offer a belated thank you, Mister Pink, and I promise the next time I have an emotional outburst, I will take a few deep breaths and recall this incident before reacting.  Another lesson learned in life, I suppose.

Amen to this. And being able to run with the interaction menu open and eating snacks when needed is a must for heists and especially a criminal mastermind run.

Vamos is the best one, I think. With proper throttle control you can keep that monster up for blocks.

I figured this out today for the first time.

 

If you complete your Repo playlist and then do the regular Contact Mission playlist the payout is the same as the Repo jobs which is significantly more.  I just got 46K for Blow Up playing solo.

i have owned the Vigero for years now and just today i notice it has a radio antenna on the back fender, wtf i didnt saw it before.

[namless1]

From cutscene taking place in Mirror Part, we know that Georgina Cheng cloned Lester's phone to make it look like he messaged us, where we actually got text from unknown caller that we only assume comes from Lester because it literally says 'it's Lester' within message text. Sending message from unlisted number and pretending to be someone else, top notch hacking skills.

Cool car, but the model lacks quality, it could do with a update.

Most if not all vanilla and early DLC vehicles should be updated to current standards, seeing the difference in quality between something like a Vamos or Gauntlet Classic and an Stallion or Dukes is quite jarring if you ask me.
